How much leeway will there be in implementation?
Full implementation of the CUI Framework is required within 5 years of the release date of the President’s Memorandum, Designation and Sharing of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) , May 9, 2008. Guidance and an implementation plan will be developed which shall allow for the timely, efficient, and effective implementation of the CUI Framework. The heads of departments and agencies will have flexibility to determine implementation within their departments or agencies consistent with policies, guidance, and standards established by the CUI Office.
